Through unremitting research on ancient documents, Xiang Nan also obtained some cultivation methods.

In addition to the three treasure seals that absorb the energy of the universe, there are also some mantras, seals, and spells that can have incredible effects when used in conjunction with special functions.

For example, the Taoist Nine-Character Mantra [All those who are fighting before the battle march forward in formation], the Lin-zi Jue combined with the Sun and Moon Seal can achieve the effect of rapid meditation; the Bing-Ze Jue combined with the Aquarius Seal can communicate the energy between heaven and earth; Combining the word formula with the Fearless Seal, you can create the most powerful attack...

However, since ancient times, various civilizations have been devastated by war many times. Those precious classics, volumes, and seal cuttings were smashed, smashed, and burned. Too many were lost.

 So much so that most of the methods have been lost, and all that can be found today are just pieces of auspicious light, which is really a pity.

 …

 As time passed, in 2025, the third uncle Heizida passed away.

 In 1990, he opened a mahjong parlor with the support of Xiang Nan. In the same year, he married his sixth aunt.

 For the next few decades, the two of them relied on this mahjong parlor to make a living. Although he is not very wealthy, he has a house and a shop, so he can be considered a middle-class family.

 When I was bored, I just spent some time with the guests to enjoy myself, so my life was quite comfortable. He is not as down-and-out as in the movie, where he is beaten by moneylenders at every turn.

Xiang Nan and Amei attended his funeral and met Liu Gu after a long absence.

 She is now old and no longer as smart and capable as she once was.

 The little girl Xiaolan back then is now a middle-aged woman.

 When we meet again, Xiang Nan and Amei no longer recognize each other.

However, she still remembered that it was the money Xiang Nan lent to her sixth aunt so that she could have a heart operation, so she was very grateful to Xiang Nan.

 At the funeral of his third uncle, Xiang Nan also met Ma Yusheng and A Ping.

They got married in 1990, and now they are both old men and old ladies.

However, I still love gambling as much as before, and my life is so-so.

 When they saw Xiang Nan, they were also filled with emotion.

After so many years, they have all grown old, but Xiang Nan is still as young as he was more than thirty years ago. It is really amazing.

 …

 The time came to the year 2050, and Qimeng was already eighty-five years old.

 Her body is gradually aging and her end is approaching.

Although Xiang Nan used Qigong to treat her many times, after all, the manpower was sometimes insufficient.

“Axing, I’m going.” She said to Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Don't worry, I'll be there soon."

"You are so capable, can you tell me if there are ghosts in the world?" Qimeng asked curiously.

"The so-called ghosts are just some aggregated residual energy." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, as long as you have no attachments, you won't become a ghost."

"But I have an obsession. I want to be with you in the next life." Qimeng said.

"Me too." Xiang Nan nodded, "Don't worry, if there is a next life, we will definitely be together."

"Yeah." Qimeng nodded, then closed her eyes.

 A moment later, a familiar prompt sounded in Xiang Nan's ears, "Zhou Xingzu thanks the host for fulfilling his wish, staying with Qimeng for life, and leaving him with beautiful memories."

 “The mission is completed, the host is about to return!”

 After the prompt sounded, a light door appeared out of thin air.

Xiang Nan’s soul was immediately sucked out of Zhou Xingzu’s body and thrown into the Light Gate.

Following a sequence of pictures flashed across his eyes. There are scenes of him going to Xiangjiang to find his third uncle, there are scenes of him and his third uncle winning money in the casino, there are scenes of him and Qimeng meeting for the first time, there are scenes of him participating in the World Gambling King Competition, there are scenes of him and his sister subduing Yan Real pictures, pictures of him doing research in the institute...all good memories.

At the end, he saw a short scene, which was the last image of the old Zhou Xingzu.

 It turns out that although he has special powers and is a superhuman figure, he has many bumps in the road of love. She and Qimeng had a three-way relationship, but in the end they couldn't be together.

 Furthermore, his life was not a success either. Not only did he become poorer at three and richer at five, he had no stable life, he was also often involved in trouble and was always being hunted down.

 The root of everything is that he has special powers, so he is regarded as an alien and a threat.

He has been banned from all casinos in the world, and his opponents are also very afraid of him and always want to challenge him, suppress him, and eliminate him.

 For him, special powers are not a fortune, but more like a curse.

Hence, Zhou Xingzu lived in poverty all his life. Before his death, he hoped that he could do it over again to avoid the tragedy of his life.

 …

Seeing this scene, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.

 Without a good mentality, sound thinking and deep introspection, no matter how powerful the ability is, you will not be able to grasp it.

 Just like a child swinging a sledgehammer, he cannot hit others but can easily hurt himself.

 That is the case with Zhou Xingzu.

Although he has super special powers, his mind is always immature and he always has the mentality of a child who is carefree.

From "The Gambler" to "The Gambler 2 Shanghai Gambler", he has experienced many things, even many life and death, and has lived a more exciting life than most people.

  But it can be seen that he basically has no reflection and growth.

It seems that at the end of "The Gambler", after he was taught a lesson by selling fish to win, he also realized that it was wrong for him to rely on his special powers to gamble, and he should use this ability to benefit society. But he still hasn't changed in "The Gambler" and "The Gambler 2", and he still relies on special functions to make money.

　　In "The Gambler 2", he experienced a life-and-death separation from Rumeng. He had already made up his mind to change his ways and learn gambling skills from the God of Gamblers. However, as soon as he saw Qimeng, he forgot all about it.

 Hence Zhou Xingzu’s experience served as a good reminder to Xiang Nan.

 That is, only with ability and a matching strong mind can we achieve success.

 …

“Does the host consume the [Memory Stone] to keep all the memories of this life?” At this time, the system prompted again.

  Xiang Nan clicked “Yes”.

 In this life, he spent most of his life in the research institute and learned a lot of knowledge about special functions.

 It would be a pity if it was forgotten like this.

At this time, the system prompts again, "As a reward for the host, Zhou Xingzu is willing to dedicate his own special function in return."

Xiang Nan immediately opened his eyes.

He waved to the mirror after him, and a round mirror was placed on the table. It levitated in an instant, and then floated into his hand.

Xiang Nan focused his power on his eyes again, and immediately saw the scene outside the wall through the wall. It was very clear, far better than an X-ray machine...

 “It’s so magical.” Xiang Nan couldn’t help but admire.

Although this was not the first time he used special powers, he still couldn't help but feel excited.

 Because the previous special power belonged to Zhou Xingzu, he just borrowed it, but now this special power belongs to him.

 The feeling of living in a rented house and your own house is naturally different.
